Original Painted Wooden Sofa or Bench
Ref: 1952
A bench or sofa, made of pine with hardwood (oak or fruitwood) legs/arm supports, lovely old pine scrubbed seat. Neo-classical form with decorative Rococo detail to backrest.
The bench is in its original paint, an attractive cream that has worn down nicely to a wash.
Originally a bed bench, the front section was a tray or drawer that pulls out but this has been fixed. Now the seat slides out to reveal a useful shallow compartment suitable to store magazines or quilt covers, etc.
Would have had a pad seat or quilt. Seen here with one to give example only.
Early to mid-19th century. Looks Swedish but can′t be because of the price.
Northern Europe c. 1820-60
H: 97cm (38.2in)
